Born with a quirky soul. Adventurous explorer and emotional thinker. Always love creative surprises and experiments.
I have a background in oil painting and photography, and I have been working as a fashion designer since I was 19. Under the pressure of proceeding garment production and meeting sales margin goals, photography came to me as a therapeutic practice. I value every mood and emotion represented in my work – it is a self exploration process, using visual narratives to express my personal struggles, to meditate and to build an imaginary world I envision.
My work is about exploring hidden fantasies in everyday objects and rebuilding new visual stories through manipulation and craftsmanship. I want emphasis the surrealism and playfulness of the subjects, through my own artistic construction and unique perception of the pictures.
